giveaway

Some time ago, I made this:Unfortunately, I didn't like the way it fit, so I gifted it to my sister. I had every intention of making it again in order to fit me. However, two years later have never done so. Well, this past weekend while in my cleaning frenzy, I came across the yarn. And thought since I probably will never get around to making another one, maybe one of you would like to make it. I have enough yarn for a medium. Of course, you will need the book, so I will include that also.If you would like a chance to win this, please comment here by midnight, Friday the 18th.

OH! I've been admiring that book for the past year now, but don't know what's stopping me from getting it..I guess I'm intimidated at trying to knit something from there with my novice knitting skills. Thanks for offering this book for the giveaway! I'd LOVE to make that and half of the projects in that book. I find a lot of patterns aren't "trendy" enough to wear personally, so this book would be perfect!

Wow! Thanks for the chance! Would love to step out and do some "real" knitting. Also working on getting some weight that has creeped on over the past few years off. This just would be just the thing to help both get done! Thanks!!!

Wow! Such a generous giveaway. Knitters are such giving people. I would love to knit this for my daughter who will be studying in London next year.Thanks Leslie, for such a creative and inspiring blog!

Oh fantastic!! I came across your blog (and a whole range of others in the knitting community) a few weeks ago - it's been great fun reading yours! I'm actually from Canada (Fraser Valley area in BC) - I'd love the chance to receive the supplies to make that sweater!!! I think it's so cool that you and others pack up parcels to one another full of fun - need to find someone to do that with, myself.

What a delightful and Kind prize ~ would love to enter ~ your knitting inspires me :) Thanks for the patterns you have :) Will be making lots of "those mitts" for Christmas gifts :)Have a happy day ,crystal

My sister is turning fifty and I am gifting her 50 special gifts. Boy would she love the sweater. I would stay up every night to make it in time for her big day. Thank you for your inspiration. You are indeed my friend to knit with!!!

This would be a beautiful giveaway to win! My birthday is coming up, and if I was the lucky winner, it would rescue my husband from having to purchase a load of linen yarn for a project I had in mind... A very beautiful birthday knit for myself, how lovely! And, since you made it up so nicely, I'm surprised you're hosting the giveaway... thanks for the opportunity!

I've been dying to get that book! That sweater is so cute and I'm finally a size Medium again after spending the last 9 months losing 40 lbs! (Two back to back pregnancies caused to me to need 40 lbs to lose) Friday is my wedding anniversary with my husband, maybe it'll bring me luck :)

not commenting to be entered in the contest - i have the book and love it - and have too much yarn of my own. just want to say that this knit is one of the first of yours that i saw and i was so impressed that you knit this.

i'm also still glad to blog know you and continue to enjoy watching what you create even if i don't always comment.

Ooh, how much I'd love to receive a gift like that!!! I love Twinkle designs, although the books and yarn are a little 2 expensive for me! :( Whatever the outcome, thanks for the generous opportunity and the lovely blog! ;) Good luck!

How very generous of you, Leslie! It is gorgeous! And I so need to work on becoming a better knitter...this book looks like it would provide some nice challenges for me as my favorite season for knitting is approaching!

Your post reminds me that I need to reorganize my knitting stuff..I'll add that to my never-ending list of things I'll probably never get around to. :o) I love your site and your sweaters. Thanks for the giveaway!

Ooohhh! Exciting! I never win anything so usually don't enter, but I am currently promoting a contest at work and am hoping people actually enter, so I made a resolution to enter other people's contests :) Gorgeous sweater and book, yay!

wow, super generous of you! I would love this to knit for my daughter! SHe is so difficult to knit for sometimes but this has her name all over it! (i think you sweater came out wonderfully, lucky sister! :) )

I've always looked at that book when I go to Barnes and Noble. Couldn't decide whether or not to buy it. Now that I've seen the sweater my mind is made up. The sweater is so pretty. You are so talented. What a great sister you are. THanks for always sharing your great recipes and wonderful knitting.

OMG!!! I just borrowed this book from the library. I've been drooling over every design. I LOVE that sweater! Dreamy...I can only afford to "window shop" through the book. We're doing our best in this Michigan economy... it's tough here. Thanks for the chance to win- what fun!!!
